A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.

Teach me Korean webtoon words with a game

A language learner had the AI create an original walk-around game that teaches vocabulary from the first episodes of a Korean webtoon, targeted to his intermediate level. Every word is tappable for a simpler-Korean definition, with cloze quizzes woven into the story, and he has played through two of four chapters.

Qwen Go checked a user's Taobao orders and won a 52 yuan price-protection refund

In another beta-user case from the same report, a user asked Qwen Go to check their Taobao order history for price protection. The agent reviewed orders against protection windows, current prices and the amounts actually paid, filed refund applications for the qualifying orders, and confirmed the refund amount and arrival time. The user reported receiving 52 yuan back.

The AI pulled the exact boundary files for two local councils

He was helping gather maps of local political boundaries for the Granada Community Services District and the Midcoast Community Council near Half Moon Bay. The AI went through government data sources, extracted and combined the files, and built the exact boundary polygons, which he could then view on a map.

WorkPartly worked

One owner tried to run a whole business on agents. He logged 105 problems instead

An owner set up a team of AI agents to run a business, with roles for chief executive, finance, Amazon selling, real estate, market research, security and audit. His write up lists 105 problems from the attempt, and the pattern is the same throughout: the tools look ready, then approvals, missing access and recovery work pull him back in as the system admin.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
